    Aims: This study was designed to inspect listeriosis in buffaloes through molecular techniques and haemato-biochemical analyses.
    Methods: A total of 230 samples (115 milk and 115 faecal samples) were collected from symptomatic listeriosis cases in Nili-Ravi buffaloes of 3 geographical districts (Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, and Muzaffargarh) Punjab, Pakistan. These samples were processed for DNA extraction using commercialized kits, and
    Results: The results revealed that 6.08% and 4.34% of the isolates from milk and faecal samples were found positive for
    Conclusion: The occurrence of listeriosis in buffaloes urges continuous monitoring and surveillance to prevent this emerging disease in Pakistan.

    Abstract The Artocarpus fruit fly, Bactrocera umbrosa (Fabricius) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is an oligophagous fruit pest infesting Moraceae fruits, including jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lamarck), a fruit commodity of high value in Malaysia. The scarcity of fundamental biological, physiological and ecological information on this pest, particularly in relation to behavioural response to phytochemical lures, which are instrumental to the success of many area-wide fruit fly control and management programmes, underpins the need for studies on this much-underrated pest. The positive response of B. umbrosa males to methyl eugenol (ME), a highly potent phytochemical lure, which attracts mainly males of many Bactrocera species, was shown to increase with increasing age. As early as 7 days after emergence (DAE), ca. 22% of males had responded to ME and over 50% by 10 DAE, despite no occurrence of matings (i.e. the males were still sexually immature). Male attraction to ME peaked from 10 to 27 DAE, which corresponded with the flies' attainment of sexual maturity. In wind-tunnel assays during the dusk courtship period, ME-fed males exhibited earlier calling activity and attracted a significantly higher percentage of virgin females compared with ME-deprived males. ME-fed males enjoyed a higher mating success than ME-deprived males at 1-day post ME feeding in semi-field assays. ME consumption also promotes aggregation behaviour in B. umbrosa males, as demonstrated in wind-tunnel and semi-field assays. We suggest that ME plays a prominent role in promoting sexual communication and enhancing mating performance of the Artocarpus fruit fly, a finding that is congruent with previous reports on the consequences of ME acquisition by other economically important Bactrocera species.

    Abstract Fish species substitution in the seafood industry has become a worldwide economic issue recently. Such economic fraud will cause food safety implications, especially on community health. We report here validation results of fish product authentication by utilizing the DNA Barcoding with comparative observation between common full DNA Barcode (FDB) and Mini DNA Barcode (MDB) primers. Overall, the majority of the products collected from local and international supply gave only a general description of the package with less or no information on taxonomic details. All samples were successfully extracted but only 21% of samples were amplified by FDB primer sets while 47% of samples were amplified by MDB. Mislabeled products were detected for the sample that had been substituted between valuable and non-profit fish species (threadfin vs lizardfish), indistinguishable fish fillet (salmon vs trout) and sushi roe (prawn vs fish). Informative labeling will contribute to improved traceability of seafood, especially for fisheries products. Future improvement of molecular-based authentication systems such as DNA Barcoding should be prioritized to identify potential sources of fish fraud as well as minimize the risk of receiving fraudulent or adulterated ingredients.

    Abstract Gonadectomized male laboratory rats were given 0.06 mg/kg estradiol benzoate daily for 14 days before being inoculated with 50 third-stage larvae of Parastrongylus malaysiensis. Hormone treatment was continued until the rats were killed. The numbers of larvae in the brain and of adult worms in the pulmonary area of the rats were determined every 7 days after the inoculation. It was found that the rats treated daily with estradiol benzoate had significantly and consistently higher numbers of larvae and adult worms as compared with the controls. The number of total leukocytes increased significantly after the rats were infected. The results show that estradiol-treated rats become susceptible to P. malaysiensis infection, which may indicate that the immunosuppressive effects of testosterone observed in earlier studies may partly be caused by estradiol that was peripherally aromatized from testosterone.

    Abstract Gonadectomized male albino rats aged 7 weeks were given 1.5 mg/kg testosterone propionate daily and inoculated with 50 third-stage larvae of Angiostrongylus malaysiensis. The treatment significantly increased the number of larvae and adult worms recovered from the brain and pulmonary arteries, respectively, and the rats exhibited smaller thymus glands. The total numbers of leukocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, and especially eosinophils increased significantly post-infection, but the counts were higher in the untreated infected controls. Presumably, immunosuppressive effects of testosterone may at least partly be responsible for the higher loads of A. malaysiensis worms found in male rats as compared with females in the field.
